Does it work in galvanized pipe?

The answer based on the manufacturer's description would be no "does not work on lead or iron pipes"

From their website:Does Eddy work on copper, lead, plastic or iron pipes?Eddy can be installed on a copper, plastic, or iron pipe, but we do not recommend installation on pipes made from lead, as descaling a lead pipe may re-expose your water to direct contact with lead. Without descaling, the coating of limescale inside your lead pipes may offer some protection against the detrimental effects of lead on your health. Unlike many manufacturers, we therefore feel unable to recommend installation on lead piping. There is often a pipe of different material (copper or plastic) further "downstream" of where the lead main enters the house so a suitable installation point can usually be found.

I don't know if it does. It is not real effective in PVC pipe. I still get a lot of scale in my tea pot.

The type of pipe does not matter. The device creates an electric field that alignes the ions of these minerals so they do not bond to each other or other surfaces. It is not advisable in galvanized or lead pipes due to the de-scaling effect which may be ingested. It will not remove the deposits therefore evaporation will still leave the deposits behind (tea pots, water spots).

I used it on standing water pipe outdoors. Not to be used on hot water lines. Used zip ties to secure.

Yes it even works on PVC. I have not noticed any great changes.I also bought their contaminate water gauge and checked when I installed and 3 mos later No change at all in the readings.

You would have to check with 3m the manufacturer. We used it on a exhaust pipe from a heater.

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

no this is a light weight water line. It'll work great for irrigation and it also works great for running low voltage underground wiring. I would recommend using PVC piping or fiberglass rods

I have never had an occasion to weld pvc pipe. but if it is clean and you have pvc material to weld with then it should work. but remember that the heat form welding will make the weld joint brittle so I would not recommend it

I do not know for sure, but since I'm using it for that purpose your question prompted me to do some research. It seems OK to use for food plants - this page was helpful to me: http://gardeningwormcomposting.com/is-galvanized-steel-harmful-to-the-soil/.

Yes there is a coupling that needs to be sweated on to the copper coming out to the wall . Mine had to be done to fit galvanized pipe by a plumber.

I have used it on various range stove components and BBQ components and it has held up great. I'm not sure about galvanized, but it has worked well on everything I have used it on.

Yes you can. It works on different sizes of PVC. Take it to the hardware store and test some sizes out first before getting the pipes to see what you like better.

I use it to cut 2-7/8" galvanized steel schedule 80 round pipe. There is a less expensive model at Home Depot that will do pvc pipe just fine.

It should, the tubing coming out of the bottom of this are all made of copper and are very slender. You can bend them any direction you need and connect flexible hosing to the pipes. It's designed to go through one hole. However, make sure your vessell is rather deep, as the water cascades off the top of the faucet at an angle, it doesn't go straight down. As you ratchet up the water flow the cascade shoots out at about a 45 degree angle, depending on your water pressure.

It might work for a while if you remove the paint but if you want a reliable connection use something that won't rust -- copper coated steel, zinc coated steel, a galvanized water pipe, whatever. You do not need a pure copper ground rod! Do it right. Rust just doesn't conduct very well.

You must buy a drive cap and drive couplings. Since the drive cap gets pounded pretty good I used a short sacrificial nipple with the drive cap and threaded that into the drive coupling. Driving directly onto the galvanized pipe can ruin the threads with a couple of off center hits. Then I just backed off the nipple and added the next section of pipe, coupling and then the nipple with cap. Good luck!

not sure. I think it works like the stuff you put in a car radiator. as its search you like through the pipeS it's obviously hardens a little bit and gets caught in the crevices and eventually enough clogs the leak and hardens. unfortunately my lEak was larger and I am dealing with a very large leak now

This product works well in the summer months. Each lasted about three to four months! I used this product in my lined pond. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work in galvanized tanks. I would suggest that you retie the mesh bags before putting it in your tanks. Mine busted open last summer and had to drain the whole pond to clean up the mess.
